    I might guess with such a party you really reinforce everyone’s image of the baby’s sex and they might be less accepting if the person comes out as a different gender further down the line? Idk

      Doesn’t really matter. The moment the people hear it’s male or female, determines how people will treat the baby. Put a baby boy in pink and don’t tell people, and people will talk to him like they would to a girl.

      Whether or not people accept the small chance that the kid turns out transgender, depends on their personal views. I doubt a gebder reveal party is significant. Besides, it’s a party for the parents to be. Not the baby.

        I absolutely get that, but I thought, perhaps making such a big deal out of the baby’s sex might set some large expectations pretty early on. Not only in the parents’ minds, but all the family that attends.

          Those expectatioms will be there regardless and depend largly on the culture and people. A gender reveal won’t add much I think.

            i mean it’s certainly going to be a bit of a bummer if they end up wanting to transition, kinda like how it sucks to be branded as “gifted” in school and then falling behind and unable to get a job.
